Thanks adclear works great on my sgs4 with Android 4.4.4

But when is the app going to support Android 5.0+ ? I still cant connect to the internet with my Moto e with Android 5.0. when I turn on the adclear VPN I can't load any pages.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
So ColorOS is Oppo's custom version?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
We do support Android 5+. This isn't something that should be happening. Are you using version 1256?
[Android Apps and Games] sonatamartica:
Yes

Like how samsungs is touchwiz.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
You may want to consider joining our beta program (link in signature). It will let us log more technical info to see if this is an issue with that OS. We are currently having an issue with google services on some phones that we're trying to find a solution to as well.
[Android Apps and Games] sonatamartica:
Just now Installed and signed up. If there's anything else i can do to help please let me know :)
[Android Apps and Games] Simcity12:
Oddly It just started to work earlier today on my Moto e with Android 5.0. not sure why it wasn't yesterday. Thanks for the reply
[Android Apps and Games] james890526:
"Unable to update the software. A network or server error occurred. Try again later". I'm using the stock Samsung OS with June 1 security patch and still experiencing this.

AdClear must have blocked the update server or something. Also, the Malware filter and Privacy list seems to have been disabled on build 501324? I have it enabled previously and they got disabled after the update
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
That's great news! Moto users seem to have some of the most trouble with the app for some reason.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
You were unable to update AdClear or your phone? Would you mind joining our Beta program (link below)? We've been trying to replicate this for months now, and we've been unable to. We'd be very very grateful.

EDIT: you should be in beta if you're on 1324 lol. My fault. We will take a look.

With your settings not erasing, that shouldn't be occurring, but we've been brainstorming potential settings things in the future. You should be able to reselect the malware filter.
[Android Apps and Games] james890526:
I'm referring to the Samsung OS software update, not AdClear's app update. I have reported this previously and is still waiting for a fix.

On the other hand, certain websites not loading thru google search seems to have been fixed. Thank a lot
[Android Apps and Games] D-dy:
Nicee... now no more annoying ads on GT-R 2
[Android Apps and Games] Karlinski:
Is this a free service? if so, whats the catch? a VPN Server costs money to run, as well as costs to develop the software.

If users give you access to all encrypted traffic for free, surely you are taking some tracking data or something?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Good question. AdClear is free to use. The VPN, however, doesn't really fit the usual definition. AdClear uses the VPN function on Android devices and doesn't contact any outside networks.

We make money by selling anonymous aggregate data to carriers or other developers. The first post on this thread needs to be updated, as the data we collect has changed. We do collect info about app use and browsing, but we create a UUID for each user that completely separates them from their device. If users uninstall then reinstall AdClear, they get a completely new ID. We no longer collect hashed IMEIs or location data. We try to eliminate the possibility of quasi-identifiers, let alone personally identifying info.
[Android Apps and Games] Karlinski:
Thanks for the response! It sounds like a pretty solid system for keeping privacy with the users. I'll have to give it a go one of these days...
[Android Apps and Games] 2x4:
Does anyone using this app have it working on the Nexus 6P? I have it on mine but (stock) but I still see ads. Is there a test website perhaps to confirm this is working?

Edit:

It appears the website I was looking at just doesn't have ads blocked, others appear to work fine.

(pirate bay - tons of ads so good for testing usually, but this app doesn't seem to block ads on it very well)
[Android Apps and Games] superinventions:
thats good.. need it!! i want to test it with my phone, galaxy grand 2
[Android Apps and Games] james890526:
Build 501447 crashes a lot and very frequently, doesn't seem very stable. Hopefully the crashes are captured. If not please tell me what do you need from me.

2. Privacy List got de-selected again after this update.

3. The malware filter seems to fail in sites like OnHax again, 1st tap always redirects to other ad pages.

4. Seems like quite a lot of images from the Facebook aren't loading, filter is over aggressive I believe.

5. The Samsung software OS update check is still not working when Advanced Protection is enabled. I'm on the Samsung Note 5 with stock ROM.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
You may want to try our Malware list in the Additional Lists page. Many of the ads on torrent sites are redirects that that list addresses.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Yes, we're seeing a couple of problems with this beta release, specifically the de-selection problem. The lists seem to not be working at all for some.

Our ticket is still open for your software issues. Is the FB problem persisting? This is new to us.
[Android Apps and Games] 2x4:
thanks for the heads-up! will try
[Android Apps and Games] james890526:
I was going to edit my comment regarding the FB problem. I believe it was just my Internet acting up that the pictures don't load. However the latest beta is crashing a lot to the point that I'd rather have it turned off as sometimes it crashes as soon as I turned it back on.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
AdClear Version 5.0.0.501475 Release Notes

Change List

Improved YouTube video ad blocking

Improved overall blocking for Advanced Protection

Fixed bug causing dialogs to open app when disabling protection

Added support for Norwegian ad filters

Added support for Czech/Slovak ad filters

Added support for Vietnamese ad filters

Changed in-app dialog to dismissible snackbar message

Minor bug fixes and improvements

Download

YouTube is possibly our largest issue to tackle, and we believe you'll see a lot less video ads from now on. :D Keep us posted on how it works for you; hopefully there aren't as many growing pains as our Google update. Advanced Protection should be more refined as well as a byproduct of what we've done.

Our dialogue screens have been causing minor problems for many users, and we've finally migrated to snackbar. It should be a much more understandable system. We continue to add additional filters to AdClear and will add whatever you need! Just ask! We hope you enjoy, and thank you for supporting us. :good::good:
[Android Apps and Games] james890526:
Build 501475 is really doing a great job. Samsung OS update has also been fixed. No more insane crashes like the previous beta.

However, certain sites which will automatically redirect on first tap doesn't seem to be fixed. They'll keep on redirecting to some stupid survey or ads site.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
This is with Malware List enabled?
[Android Apps and Games] minimal Tango:
I love IT! Thanks
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:

[Android Apps and Games] james890526:
Yes, example of OnHax. Also still happening on build 501544. Other than that, thanks again for this great app
[Android Apps and Games] Glitch120:
Using this on a Galaxy S5 6.0.1. and I'm encountering a problem where the app is being disabled by power saving options. Protection cannot be enabled either automatically or by manually pressing the button, or shuts itself off as soon as I turn on power-saving.

I've made sure to whitelist/turn off powersaving options for the app in the options, but there's a possibility that a required service is blocked. Does the app use any services (by name, so I could whitelist them) other than the main app itself?
[Android Apps and Games] huismeester:
Yes

I installed this today, and it seemed to work well when blocking ads inside apps. Then I went to open Chrome and it wouldn't connect to my homepage (www.google.com). I played around a little bit, and Chrome would only open about 1 in every 10 sites I tried to open. Any idea what might be going wrong?

AdClear Version 501544 Release Notes

Change List

Fixed bug in Additional Lists preventing from saving user choices

Multiple bug and crash fixes

Improved AdClear memory usage

Fixed rare bug preventing some from using group text messaging

Fixed incorrect snackbar wording

Minor bug fixes and improvements

Download

Our latest release fixes a lot of bugs we've had reported recently. Additional Lists should be working properly now. Memory use should be tremendously improved. We've shored up all the crashes we've found as well.

Let us know how it works for you, and thank you for your support!
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
AdClear is pretty incompatible with power saving mode, but we've had isolated reports of whitelisting working. It makes use of the VPN function, which power saving must negate completely.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
This is something that's popped up in the last two releases that we're currently investigating. Could you provide your device and OS version? We're trying to sort out what the cause of this is.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Could you send us a log through the app? We'd love to take a look at this.
[Android Apps and Games] riot1031:

[Android Apps and Games] riot1031:
That depends, are you Christian? :)
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Haha, yes. Can we send you a version of AdClear with additional logging? We're unable to replicate this on our end. It'd help us fix figure out what's going on.
[Android Apps and Games] riot1031:

I've installed this app and work fine on my lenovo A680 with CyanogenMod 4.4.

Thanks for this great app
[Android Apps and Games] perveeus:
I tried Seven AdClear on my N6P for the first time this week & love it for blocking annoying popup ads esp. from Facebook to a browser article.

But when it is enabled, I ran out of juice by with average to little web browsing & phone calls - by the end of my workday.

Which is between 7AM-5PM.

Surprising since prior to adding Seven AC - my battery was ~40-50% remaining by the end of the day in that time period.

Case in point today - I have been leaving Seven AC disabled & I am currently at 74%.

Same time yesterday with it enabled I was already down to 54%.

Using version 501544.

Thoughts?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
We just noticed something happened in our newest releases that's messing with battery life for some. We're currently investigating it, as for one user, our usual strain on battery (6%) was off the charts. We'll hopefully have this figured out for our next release. Your 6 is running Marshmallow?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
What is your device and OS? Would you be willing to download a version of AdClear with extra logging so we can see what's going on? This is something we doubt we can replicate on our end, so any help would be appreciated.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
If you'll join the beta program (link in signature), I'll email you whenever we send something to you. The link will have you download the latest beta, but that won't be the actual version we send.
[Android Apps and Games] riot1031:
I've already joined the beta program and installed the beta. I will wait for the next version you send out!
[Android Apps and Games] perveeus:
Yes it's on lastest M6.01 stock.

No root.

Very plain vanilla usage.

- Additional list not showing up.

- Unable to access accuweather.

- General issue accessing websites which makes use of WordPress.

Devices: Nexus 6P - Android N & Marshmallow, Sony Xperia X Performance Marshmallow
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
What version are you on? You should be able to re-sync with our lists server.

How are you able to clarify the WordPress issue?
[Android Apps and Games] fluxgfx:
I'm on the latest version of AdClear.

Any site that run on the wordpress module will have issues loading. If AdClear is then disable the page will load instantly no delays. That goes for any type of wordpress site.

It's also important to note that the extra list, never show up.

The app works great, thank you.

But i have a question... i've set a pattern unlock to use advanced protection... but now i want to disable it and have only slide to unlock but that option is greyed out.

I already removed the credential from user trusted credential, i already cleared app data and uninstalled it... still, slide to unlock greyed out (disabled by admin or encrypt policy).

Anyone plz...? Thanks.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Try using "Clear All Credentials"

Question,

Why does it require more permission than what is asked from adguard, what different task will it perform from adguard to require such permission?

Cause I've tried, and it seems for now, adguard just works better. And the red is just too loud.

Thanks.

Improved stability of AdClear

Separated UI from engine to prevent crashes

Minor bug fixes and improvements

Better IPV6 support*

Fixed memory leaks*

Fixed network issues affecting some users*

Fixed ad count stopping at 1000 for some users*

Updated FAQ wording*

Fixed VPN not enabling in some cases*

DOWNLOAD

Hey guys. It's been a while since I've checked in. My apologies. Since then we've released two new builds that we feel make AdClear much much better. The rate of crashes has decreased tremendously. Several people around the world had reported problems with network connections and we believe we've fixed that as well for most.

If you've downloaded AdClear in the last few weeks or are a long time user, make sure you update! You can check your version of AdClear in the About AdClear page in the app menu.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Could both of you replicate this problem then use the Report Connection Issue button to send a log to us?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
What specifically seems to be happening?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Are you moving between Wi-Fi and Data while this is occurring?

If you'd like, follow the Beta link in my signature to download our beta version of AdClear. If you can replicate your problem on that version, then use the Report Connection Issue button, we'll be able to see exactly what's going on.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Thanks for the question. The increased permissions are something that happened within the last four or five releases, and we cannot figure out why it's occurring. A lot of the permissions (especially with SD cards) we simply cannot and do not access.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
AdClear is fundamentally different from adaway in that AdClear does not require rooting your phone.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
We'd love to take a closer look at these issues. If you join our beta program (link in sig) and replicate the issue, then use the Report Connection Issue button, we'll be able to see exactly what's happening. If you do join, be sure to describe your issues again before sending. We'll be able to fix it for you a lot quicker.

Report connection issue taking forever

I tried to replicate the problem with 100% "success" rate anyways. Now after I click on report connection issue, it's taking forever for the pop up message to spin no matter if I enabled or disabled adclear. What have I done wrong here?
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
It's our fault, not yours. We are currently consolidating code that has caused random phones to have this problem. We have an S4 that does it, but it will eventually go through. We should have this refined ASAP as it just isn't where we want it as a feature.

Thank you for being so patient with us.
[Android Apps and Games] james890526:
I finally got to send 1 email out by reporting connection issue, hopefully the info helps.

On a side note, I've noticed that sometimes it's taking a longer time for websites to load when AdClear is enabled. Can this be reported via the same method too?
[Android Apps and Games] serji7:
No internet connection for me when I enable VPN. OnePlus 3 is my phone.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Yes, that should fit under that criteria. If not, you're already in beta, so we could see it there. Could you DM me the email address you report issues with? I will get a dev to take a hard look at everything that's happening for you.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Could you replicate the problem, then use the Report Connect Issue button to send it to us?

AdClear Version 5.0.0.501989 Release Notes

DOWNLOAD

Hey guys, we recently found a critical bug in our update feature that we've been working nonstop to fix. It seems that version 1544 is the cause, and only builds downloaded from our website. Still, check the About AdClear page (in the top right menu on the main screen) to see what release version you are using. If you are on 1544, you may need to uninstall AdClear and download it again from either here, our site, or Amazon.

This will hopefully have a secondary effect of fixing a lot of problems for people that are on even earlier builds.

If you need any assistance, let me know, and as always, thanks for using AdClear guys.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
We figured out what's causing the update issue. Something in those updates is triggering our privacy filter. We're working on a permanent fix. In the meantime, unchecking the privacy list in Additional Filters should be a work around.
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Do you guys possibly have other apps on the phone that use the VPN? If so, they could be auto connecting before AdClear is able to connect.
[Android Apps and Games] spupuz:
No other VPN software

It's normal once VPN server activated it will always running till you stopped it manually. It will filter ads even screen is off.

[Android Apps and Games] ad78:
nope it doesn't work..
[Android Apps and Games] SEVEN_AdClear:
Yes, like hadi_rena said, the VPN will continue while the screen is off. Ads continue loading in apps and online when your screen is off a lot of the time. That's why you see viruses like HummingBad that try to show as many ads as possible with the phone locked down.
